Thebigspendur, my goodman, how well you know me by now. You and Ryan both. Victor, too. I have an obsession with beautiful things. In this case it's the Goodfella. It's a lovely razor. I was obsessed with the Edwin Jagger "Chatsworth" barley (lined) and had to have it — and it's gorgeous. The same thing with the stainless steel Feather — what a beautiful razor.
The PILS was a big obsession, too, and what a stunning razor that turned out to be. Unfortunately the razor's weight and slim handle defeated my banged up hands. I finally gave up the PILS and it went to a deserving friend. The Edwin Jagger 89L and the Muhle 89R are beautiful razors and I have them. I love some of the old Gillettes for their simple beauty, and they are beginning to grow on me as shavers.
Now comes the Goodfella, a beautiful razor and my newest obsession. I might even begin to like the open comb — lately I have been using my two open comb vintage razors more than usual. So which will it be in the coming days, Goodfella or not? Last night I was against it, and this morning for it. Tonight I'll see where I end up after a couple snifters of cognac. Oy!
Regards,
Obie
